Taking advantage of a clause In the

prunes since early In November.
Orders have been given for release

which will take the major portion of

AMERICAN AVIATOR.
T VISIT
TO OREGON CITY
R. II. Toter, a former young man of
Cortland, but now of Oregon City,
Route 3, where hi pa rent, Mr. and
Mr. John Teter are residing, hu
returned to Oregon City from Franc;),
and I to enjoy a 30-ituy furlough with
hi parent, then I to return to d Hy.
Mr. Teter ha been In the marine
avluton service in France, and tolls
many IntereHtlng atorles connected
with the work of the avlutor and of
hi trip in France and Into Belgium.
Mr. Teter entered the service on
February 1, 1918, and wa stationed at
Mare Island, where he wa transfer
red Into the Marine Aviation, and on
March 27 was sent to the aviation
training camp at Miami, Fla. He re
mained ther until July 13, and on
July 18 loft for overseas' duty.
The young aviator says when leav
ing the ground to take up his duties
'n tbo air a 'queer senutlont come
over you, and a the machine In which
ho Is riding rise about GO mile an
hour it resemble a ride on an eleva
tor. While you are In midair, the
wind sometime stiff, causing the
machine to swerve, but a the aviator
munt sit In an upright position, and
keep a coot head, also watching his
chance ut getting a glimpse of an
enemy plane, he cannot resist the
temptation of taking a look at the
surrounding country, which has been
a great treat for the Cluckamas
county aviator.
One of the places visited by Prl
vute Teter wa an aviation field of
the i irinuns, which had Just been put
Into condition to be ued by the Huns.
Thl had been put Into readlni-s by
the women and children of Germany,
who hud beeii mild a small sum for
their work, but Instead of the Ger
iiihuh being uhlo to use this the Ameri
can reached the place In time to
take poNseBHlon. This waa near the
point where the German made a re
treat, but before so doing bad burned
the bridge behind them to prevent
the Americans from crossing the riv
er, but the aviators kept up their
stoutly bombing and scattered the
German army. This field wa used by
the allied army.
It was near the place called Ghent,
that the American aviator did good
work with their bombs. After the but
tli, the Americans had killed 100 of
tho Gonnan officers, besides many
soldiers of the German army. The
Combing group continued with its
good work for that day. The Liberty
motor planes done their deadly work
as desired by the allies.
Making the trip down to Uk
ground la more thrilling than going
up, says Teter, and "when the old
planes are making the dives and loop
ing the loop, and nearlng the ground,
you will think that tho ground Is
coming up toward you. It takes nerve
to go up in a plane on a battle field
but I have" thoroughly enjoyed the
life of the avlator.land should Uncle
Sam call again for men, I would be
one of the men to respond to my coun
try's call."
Mr. Teter has the distinction of be
ing one of the first Americans to
land In Belgium. When they made
their first appearance, the Bel
glan people rushed to the boys, and
embraced and kissed them. They were
overjoyed to see these men.
Many tales of horror were told the
aviators by the Belgians, and Teter
snys he does not believe that the stor
ies that have appeared In newspapers
concerning the atrocity of some of
their crimes were exasperated.
It was while stationed at Knessle-
nalre, Belgium, the news reached Prl
vaie leier tnai tue armistice was
signed. There was great rejoicing ev
crywhere.
It was while he wns in Belgium
'hat the King and Queen of Belgium
were seen. "n they gave the allies
wtt cordial welcome.
Mr. Teter .I'lnalned In Belgium until
December 7, whon he left for the Unit
ed Statos, making the trip across the
ocean to Newport News on the U. S
8. Mercury. There were about 1700
men on board, including many wound
ed.
Mr. Teter says that many Germane
are burled iu great piles In the trench
es, while others lie In a slrnde crave
The trenches are not any too deep
either. This was found when Teter
with a number of companions were
making their way across a battlefield
He says that No Man's Land is a de
sorted place and full ot shell holes.
"Many young Germans were about
18 and 19 years of age," says Prl
vnie loier, "ana some were very
bright and neatly attired, while others
were unshaven, ragged and Ignorant,
and who appeared to be from 40 to
45 years of age. Most of the German
soldiers wore cheap clothing.
Mr. Teter had many narrow escape
while In France. Among these was
where a bomb struck the ground near
where be was sleeping and made a
hole In the ground 25 feet in diameter
and eight feet deep. Thnt was a lucky
day for Teter, for he did not get a
scratch.
Mr. Teter speaks highly of the Red
Cross, the Salvation Army and the
Knights of Columbus. He says these
organizations have done much for the
boys over there, and have furnished
the men with articles without price,
"and the boys will all take off their
hats to these three organzatlons," he
says.
Among the souvenirs brought
home by this young man were vari
ous kinds of money. He also has a
knife taken from a dead German.
Souvenirs are easy to find, and In
some places trench hats, and other
articles worn by the Germans are ly
ing on the ground. Many of the young
men returning on the boat with Teter
brought souvenirs.
Mr. Teter was a former student of
the Benson Polytechnic school of

DEVOTE MUCH SPACE
TO WILSON'S VISIT
LONDON, Dec. 27. London's morn
lng newspapers having suspended pub
lications since Tuesday for the Christ
mas holiday, had to find space today
for three days' news from the world.
Nevertheless, by far the largest part
of every paper Is given over to Pres
ident Wilson's visit, other news being
severely condensed. Gratification is
expressed over Mr. Wilson's presence
and the people's joyous welcome,
which is declared to have been the
warmest tribute to a visitor that Lon
don has ever known. There is a strain
of sympathetic personal greeting run
ning through all the stories and the
writers regard the popular acclama
tions ot the president as being ani
mated by the same spirit.
"President Wilson's Journey was a
triumphal procession from the mo
ment he landed," says the Mail, "and
It was real, sincere affection and no
mere curiosity that brought to his ears
the tremendous acclamations of the
people of London."

LONDON, Dec. 26. President and
Mrs. Wilson were In Buckingham pal
ace this afternoon after a journey
from Calais to London, during which
they were accorded all the honors ev
er given to royalty Never has a reyal
procession, except those of great na
tional ceremonials, excited such in
terest as the first state visit of an
American president
The drive of the short procession
from the station to the palace was
mado through streets lined with the
guards regiments in khaki. Freeh
flags were hung overhead and cov
ered buildings, while windows, bal
conies, sidewalks and open spaces
were filled with people, many of whom
wore the American colors.
It was a brief spectacle. First came
the sovereign's escort of troops from
the household cavalry with helmets
and steel cuirasses. Then came the
carriage with King George and Presi
dent Wilson and Queen Mary, Mrs.
Wilson and Princess Mary. These
were followed by three others, .which
passed almost unnoticed, as all eyes
wera on Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and the
royal family.
GERMAN PEOPLE WILLING
TO ADMIT ALLIES
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Officials
of the American Government here ex
pressed the belief today that Stephen
Plchon, the French Foreign Minister,
was voicing his own opinion and not
the policy of the French Government
when he said there would be no lnv
mediate Intervention in Russia by the
allied governments.
The Russian situation has been the
subject of earnest discussion by the
representatives at Paris of the associ
ated nations, but so far as is known
here none of the governments has put
forward any definite plans The under
standing here is that the whole sub
ject will be left to the peace confer
ence. It was reiterated today that the al
lied powers have no desire to inter
fere with the internal affairs of Rus
sia and that if any any aggressive ac
tion is determined upon the object will
be solely to curb a menace to the
peace of the world
Additional reports of the chaotic
conditions in Bolshevik-controlled Eu
ropeean Russia reached the State De
partment today. One account said the
loyal militia of Esthonla and Livonia
poorly equipped and with little or no
training, wag in no condition to with
stand the attacks of the Bolshevikl.
Some of the Bolshevik forces In this
section were said to be well supplied
with machine guns, tanks and armor
ed cars.

EIGHT -HOUR POLICY
AT ELABORATE BANQUET PRESIDENT JACOB ANNOUNCES POLICIES
BY WHICH WORKERS WILL HAVE VOICE IN MANAGEMENT
One of the largest and most delight
ful banquets ever held in Oregon City
was staged at 6 o'clock Saturday ev
ening by the Oregon City Woolen
Mills, when its hundreds of employe
and Its executives gathered around
the festive board In a happy Christ
mas celebration.
The cutting room ot the garment
factory was made over into a taste
fully decorated banquet hall. Christ
mas bells and Japanese lanterns dan
gled In profusion from the ceiling, and
walls. (
There were four tables, each 66 feet
long upon which nearly four hundred
plates were laid. Tie tables were
decorated with miniature Christmas
trees, and beside each plate were a
paper service cap and a whistling
baloon, and a souvenir menu. The
throng caught the spirit Quickly and
Immediately there was a sea of vari
colored heads and a bewildering
chorus of noises.
Santa Claus appeared in the midst
of the banquet and distributed a
mirth-making toy to each banqueter.
Bequeath's orchestra played through
out the evening, and entertainers
from Pantages supplemented the joy
of the occasion at which there was
something doing every moment from
soup to ice cream. It took twenty
mammoth turkeys to serve the nearly
four hundred guests.
At the close ot the banquet A. R.
Jacobs, president ot the company,
made a splendid talk to the employes,
and he sprang several wholly
unexpected surprises, which were en
thusiastically received. The greatest
demonstration was occasioned when
Mr. Jacobs announced that notwith
standing that the future was frought
with much uncertainty for manufac
turing Institutions of this kind, and
that nearly all competitors through
out the world were on a nine or more

RUSSIA IS NOT
. LIKELY AT ONCE
PARIS, Dec. 26. After several days
of furious discussion of the subject in
the prtss, it appears settled that there
will be no military Intervention in
Russia this winter if ever.
Instead',' the allies 'will sustain the
moderate elements in Russia, hoping
thus gradually to circumvent the Bol
shevikl As forecast in a cable of last
Friday, the peace conference will con
sult with the committee of former
provisional Russian ministers, with
the exception, however, of Professor
Paul Millukoff, ex-premier, whose end-
den departure from Paris after a stay
ot only a few days, gives rise to much
comment and speculation.
Deliberations are now held dairy at
the Russian embassy between Rus
sians who were ambassadors or minis
ters under the Kerensky and preced
ing regimes. M. Bakmetieff, the pro
visional government ambassador at
Washington, and Prince Lvoff, who
was the first premier of the Russian
republic, are among those holding
conferences. Several other leading
Russian bourgeolse opposed to the
Bolshevikl are reported en route to
Paris.

on an eight-hour day." The garment
factory Is to go on that tmslg January

not being completed In the latter. J le
left it to the workers to docide'.jjy
vote whether they desired to wofti
more than eight hours the first days
of the week and take Saturday after
noons off, or work full eight hour
six days. The Saturday afternoon pro
position carried 251 to 51, the garment
factory being unanimous for thl ar
rangement. Another pleasing announcement.!)
Mr. Jacobs cooyeel the decision ol
the company to adept ft policy ot com
mittee representation from each, de
partment to represent the workers n
all matters affectiag their welfare,
socially and Induetrtally. The , an
nounced intentloa Is to make the in
stitution's workers practically a self
governing bod; anil to have a share
in shaping the poticj of the company
toward Its emptojes, and to weld aQll
mora firmly the policy of co-operation
and good fellowship which has
distinguished its attitude for several
years. .
The third announcement by Presi
dent Jacobs related to the extension
of the bonus system for continual
faithful service. In addition to the pre
sent policy of allowing 2 1-2 per cent
on earnings for six months continuous
service, 6 per cent on one year, and
7 1-2 per cent on two. years, a further
bonus will be allowed of 10 per cent
for three years, and 15 per cent Inr
five years. '
At the close ot his talk Mr. Jacobs
was given a reusing demonstration,
and as the guests filed out he ahonk
hands with each on$, and Santa Claus
gave each a parting gift of a choke .of
